Time is on his side, yet this was a slow start for Ellenson, who right now is a stretch big who cannot stretch the floor. Ellenson shot poorly in his few NBA minutes, shot poorly on his D-League assignment, and shot poorly during his brief college career. The projectability is there, especially given his ability to also put the ball on the floor and capitalise on the shooting, yet the range itself is not. Any decision on Ellenson’s future is thus dependent upon how he responds to two or three years of intense skills development.

Player Plan: Three years of rookie scale salary remaining. Needs intense skills development, then some minutes to see if it worked.

Note: Non-US teams that the player
has played for are, unless stated otherwise, from the top division in
that nation. If a league or division name is expressly stated, it's not
the top division. The only exceptions to this are the rare occasions where
no one league is said to be above the other, such as with the JBL/BJ League
split in Japan.
